5 kg purchased from a dealer at 60 rupees per kg
Therefore total cost per 5 kg = 60 x 5 = 300
7 kg purchased from 2nd dealer at 80 rupees per kg
Therefore total cost per 7 kg = 80 x 7 = 560
Therefore total cost for 12 kg = 300 + 560 = 860
Hence cost per kg 860/12 = 71.66
Profit = 20%
Therefore Selling price = Cost price + Cost price x 0.2
= Cost price x 1.2
= 71.66 x 1.2 = 86
